CPV 19xxxxx — Leather and textile fabrics, plastic and rubber materials
Leather and textile fabrics, plastic and rubber materials under CPV division 19 cover industrial supply procurement by EU public bodies. Contracting authorities in this category include manufacturing public enterprises, defence establishments procuring raw materials for equipment production, public health services procuring medical-grade materials, and specialist technical services organisations. This is a relatively lower-volume category on TED compared to finished goods divisions, as many procurement needs for raw materials are handled through commercial purchasing processes below public procurement thresholds.
Industrial polymer, rubber, and technical textile procurement has grown in strategic importance with EU industrial policy objectives. Technical textiles — including protective gear substrates, filter media, geotextiles for infrastructure, and medical nonwovens — are increasingly procured under specific EU standards including EN ISO standards for performance characteristics. REACH Regulation compliance documentation is a standard requirement for chemical substance procurement, requiring suppliers to provide substance registration numbers and safety data sheets for all relevant substances above threshold concentrations.
Contract notices under CPV division 19 are published by contracting authorities across all 27 EU member states on TED Europa. Verify current deadlines directly on TED before beginning bid preparation, as corrigenda (correction notices) may have modified the original published deadline. Estimated values shown are from the original contract notice — final awarded values are disclosed in Contract Award Notices published after the procedure concludes.
